Pink and Blue~do they go together?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, yes pink and blue.....

The question of pink and blue going together isn't really a question for me.

An old hooked rug I picked up at auction has coral pink and aqua blues in it.

I'm planning to paint my bathroom vanity in duck egg blue

so I dragged the rug up to the bathroom

and threw it on the floor.

This bathroom makeover kind of stalled

and I am ready to set about finishing the task.

I wondered about introducing the pink Antoinette color into the bathroom color

palette along with the the duck egg blue~

and as I was thinking about this pink and blue idea an

old childhood memory popped into my head while I showered.

source (not my actual coloring page)

When I was in second grade I was invited to color at

my grandmother's neighbor's house, Lucy.

I loved to color~and I colored a page with a puppy dog

and used powder blue and baby pink.

It was so pretty and when I finished it off I proudly showed

it off to Lucy and her friend who remarked,

"Oh! Pink and Blue don't go together!!" and laughed knowingly.

I was perplexed....what did she mean that pink and blue don't go together?

I was trying to understand why she said that, when the picture was so pretty.

Well I couldn't understand it, and I was too embarrassed to ask why.

When she laughed at me, I didn't feel very good about my coloring~like it was a failure.

I don't have many crystal clear memories, but this one is clear. And it popped into my head while I pondered adding Antoinette pink to the blue~funny how that happens, isn't it? A vintage memory just comes to the surface and you can remember exactly how it felt that day.
